Not as severe but encouraging.That ought to be in the US of A as well
Yes I think if there were laws like the one mentioned in the original post, there probably would be lax enforcement, especially in towns/cities where there's not much love for EVs. I keep thinking about some of the recent stories about certain legislators in North Carolina and one of the Dakotas trying to introduce bills that weren't friendly to EVs.Laws do no good unless they are enforced. I doubt these will be enforced if they existed in Florida or any red state where if you're a particular political affiliation you are above the law.
Yeah I'm sure the police in Bushnell will make it a priorityYes I think if there were laws like the one mentioned in the original post, there probably would be lax enforcement, especially in towns/cities where there's not much love for EVs.

No lies detected .I'd rather be blocked by an ICE car than a Bolt that started charging at 20% lol
ICE dude would finish shopping, lunch, use the restroom and leave before that Bolt hits 80%
It depends upon the logistics of it. For example, in Philly private lot owners contract with towing companies - and those towing companies view it as revenue and will even proactively cruise by. Similarly, the store operator with EVSE will be losing money if the spots are iced and so have an incentive to have the cars towed.Laws do no good unless they are enforced.

I still have an offer that I'll pay $10 to watch an ICE get towed from an EV spot for a violation and I've yet to pay it out lol.It depends upon the logistics of it.

So instead of blocking spots, people will just unplug your car and call the tow company to complain.Not as severe but encouraging.
"Californiaâs Vehicle Code 22511 states that parking designated for electric vehicles can be enforced by the siteâs owner. According to the city attorney for Clovis, the owner of the parking area may have a vehicle towed away from a stall or space set aside for electric vehicle charging if that vehicle is not connected to the charging equipment (but the police or Sheriffâs department must be notified of the illegal parking before the vehicle is removed). That parking area must have a sign (no smaller than 17 inches by 22 inches) that says âunauthorized vehicles not connected for electric charging purposes will be towed away at ownerâs expenseâ (with details of where the towed vehicles can be reclaimed underneath)."
I have pointed out ICEing to security and/or management at a few places here in CA. The universal response is âOh? Huh.â Then nothing gets done. I have since given up.Not as severe but encouraging.
